A prairie at sunset and a meadow at midday….

 

An Incense warm with the delightful scent of the sweet Coumarin in Summer botanicals. This blend was created to celebrate the Sun at the Summer Solstice but it can be burned or heated at any time you want to experience the scents of Summer, and perhaps make a solar offering to ask the Sun to be gentle.

 

It is also beautiful to look at with flecks of gold and copper leaf, dried edible flower petals from Slovenia, and topped with shining golden scales of Colophony pine resin from Portugal. It glitters in the sunlight.

 

Warm aromatics of woods, resins, and herbs fresh from the sun-filled garden. 

The base holds the balsamic beauty of  Palo santo,  fine Frankincense, Peru Balsam with Greek Sage, and Sweet Grass. A mellow and sacred blend, perfect for honoring the Sun.

“The Wheel of the Year has turned to the Summer Solstice

As time moves forward the year matures into adulthood.

The fullness of life rises with the sun's warm rays.

The earth, lush and green.

This is the year's longest day.

The long summer days are like a long, melting kiss.

The warm summer nights are where the heart finds its bliss.

 

We align our desires with the power of our hearts.

We take responsibility for what we have created so far.

This phase of the year represents what will be.

We have chosen our path,

Now the path is beneath our feet.

The details of our lives, the spice, and the flavor are not just handed to us,

As no one is favored.

It comes from within, from the depths of our hearts.

We design and create it with our emotions and our thoughts.”

“At solstice was when the whole world measured time

This is when the light would turn around

This is where the past would come undone

and the spinning earth will mark a change

Let's go back in time, to when it all began

To the breaking of new dawns

Where moments bright with fire,

would light the chanting song

Where pagans worshipped sun,

and danced among the trees

Wore  masks of covered straw, and blessed cold ash with awe

This was when the whole world measured time

This is when the light would turn around”
